I'm getting REALLY tired of all of this endless, childish bickering that is
OT and doesn't belong here ...

I don't know about you, but I certainly don't waste much time reading the
Steve/Lennie sandbox fight! That's strictly between them! I search the
newsgroup using certain keywords, and usually find the postings I'm
interested in reading. I occasionally amuse myself by tossing a few
word grenades toward Lennie and a few select others, but I don't maintain
a long, drawn-out pitched battle with them.

I guess you could say that this newsgroup is what you make of it, and
lately, I don't make very much of it at all.

this group was created in the first place if memory serves me correctly - to
provide a place for the serious
regulatory/policy discussion after rec.radio.amateur.misc turned into the
sort of argue_about_off_topic_things
fest that you guys have going on here ...

OK, there ... I've said my peace and now you can tell me to [expletive
